baby #2, 8 weeks!!!

we made it home from vacation and it sure has taken a lot out of me!  now i need to grocery shop, clean and do laundry and get back into our routine.  since being home i am still needing an afternoon nap and have had some bad nausea.  the weird thing is that i am incredibly nauseous but am also starving at the same time.  the hard thing is that NOTHING sounds good to eat.  i am having quite the dilemma.

to my surprise i did not gain any weight on vacation, in fact even with some indulgences i still managed to keep the weight that i lost off.  at this point i am down about 2 pounds from my pre pregnancy starting weight.  but my baby bump is starting to show!  it is scary to me how quickly your body changes with a 2nd pregnancy! 

of course some of my girlfriends guessed i was pregnant during our visit, but it is still very early and i want to be cautious about spreading the news.  we did tell our siblings and of course everyone is excited!  the verdict so far is that i am having a boy???  that is kind of my gut feeling, maybe because this pregnancy feels so opposite of my pregnancy with bowie.
